Description

Featuring three distinct engines and more than 1,000 sound sources, Gravity 2 represents what many consider to be the forefront of modern cinematic sound design. Its 1,000+ sound sources are grouped in convenient, orderly banks for easy locating and combining, and its 600 snapshots (presets) provide you with immediate firepower for scoring films, games, and more. Three engines — Menu, Menu XL, and Designer — accommodate any bank-based or creative layering workflow, and a Master FX page lets you apply global reverbs, delays, drive, and much more in any signal flow arrangement that you like. Lastly, Gravity 2’s Mixer offers recordable automation as well as Drift and Scatter controls to help you precisely craft the most epic sounds this side of the universe.

Note: Gravity 2 requires Kontakt Player version 7.6.0 (or later). Please consult your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have questions or concerns.

More than a thousand sound sources

Heavyocity’s first Gravity software instrument became a household name among composers and sound designers virtually overnight, and Gravity 2 offers even more depth than its predecessor. At its heart are more than 1,000 distinct sound sources ranging from mechanical mayhem to beautiful analog synth sounds and everything in between. To get you up and running, Gravity 2 includes 600 snapshots (presets) that make use of Gravity 2’s extensive sound source library. While they sound amazing on their own, they give you a sampling of Gravity 2’s capability.

Three distinct engines

Whether you want a convenient bank-based workflow or you’d rather jump off the deep end into tweaking your sonic creations, Gravity 2 has you covered. Utilize its Menu or Menu XL engines for selecting sounds that are mappable to the entire keyboard, select their start and stop times, and then further shape them via filters, EQs, and more. Or, if you really want to get your ears dirty, try Gravity 2’s Designer engine on for size. Its three separate channels each have mix and FX controls, so you can layer sources and craft some truly unique and gnarly sounds.

Endless options for customization

While the onboard stock sounds and snapshots are incredible, Gravity 2’s seemingly infinite possibilities for customization have really captivated our Sweetwater composers. The Macro page features a Macro Knob that can be assigned to control a sequence or an LFO, thus lending incredible motion to your sounds. Gravity 2’s Master FX page also has a signal chain with EQ, compressor, reverb, and other modules that you can arrange in your preferred order. Finally, its advanced Mixer section features Drift, Scatter, and writable automation. Trust us when we say that you won’t get bored of Gravity 2 anytime soon … if ever!
